You’ve heard me and many others refer to the Democrat Plan as a Marxist spending spree and laundry list of socialist power grabs. Some of you have tried to shout down those who use these terms to describe the current Democrat strategies in Washington DC. Some of you accuse Republicans of playing politics in their efforts to stop the Democrat WASTE bill from becoming the law of the land. And now, several GOP governors are rejecting “their fair share” of the fed funny money....
Well, it’s time for American voters to grow up and face reality. Although the above four point stimulus priority list matches the Democrat Plan 100%, I actually borrowed it from the economic recovery plan proposed by an organization called The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) here.

I “totally” agree with him, except for this:
“It isn’t a stimulus package. It’s a wealth redistribution bill. Taxpayers and investors know it and they are reacting accordingly. Nanny state dependents don’t know it yet, but they soon will. “
I don’t think “taxpayers” know it yet. Polls show the stimulus still has narrow majority support.
And as for nanny state dependants, I think they DO know it. And it’s not surprising they like it.
One aspect he forgot to mention though is this: If your eally examine the situation, there are an awful lot of people “on the dole” (in one form or another) right now. All Obama has to do is bump that statistic up maybe 5% - 10%, and he’s effectively got a lock on power forever more.

So that’s how that happens (the double post). I accidentally double clicked the submit button.
I always wondered how so many people did that.
Sorry.
Welcome to the Union of Soviet Socialist Amerika, Comrades.
How do you like it so far?
All true, especially the last part.
I tried to tell friends before the election not to gamble on one disastrous Obama term, because the nation will not recover from even the damage of the first year...
They didn’t listen... They were fractured conservatives and libertarians who refused to work together. Now they will pay...
So far, not at all...
later
FILE YOUR EXTENSION....
Try the IOU strategy many states are now trying... LOL

Not Obama’s bill? Not Nancy’s bill? Not Harry’s bill?
Lonsberry fan?
Oh, it’s their bill, it just wasn’t their idea...
